Assize should have second charge

[AnotherPerson]

I'm going off the mentality of keeping Assize on CD because of the MP restore, which could be a problem for WHM come EW. Being able to delay it for healing purposes would be helpful and I do admit to overreacting in my original post but I do feel that, unless something else is done to alleviate MP for WHM, a 2nd charge might not be able to serve its intended purpose of being used for healing.

People are literally saying it's not a fix to MP problem; it just makes the drawbacks of Assize easier to manage by not losing potential MP/damage/healing from not using the skill on cooldown.
You're going to get the same amount of MP restore regardless whether you use it at 1 charge or near 2 charges.

The way Assize with 2 charges work is that you get up to 1000 MP every 90 seconds.

At 0 charge(s) held, in 20 seconds, you have 0 stock of -500 MP- and 0 AoE heal saved up.
At 0 charge(s) held, in 45 seconds, you have 1 stock of -500 MP- and 1 AoE heal saved up, and the counter resets to 0 for the 2nd charge.
At 1 charge(s) held, in 75 seconds (30 seconds on 2nd charge), you still have 1 stock of -500 MP- and 1 AoE heal saved up.
At 1 charge(s) held, in 85 seconds (40 seconds on 2nd charge), you still have 1 stock of -500 MP- and 1 AoE heal saved up.
At 1 charge(s) held, in 90 seconds (45 seconds on 2nd charge), you have 2 stock of -500 MP- and 2 AoE heal saved up, and you hit the cap on charges.
At 2 charge(s) held, in 120 seconds (30 seconds on the 3rd charge), you have 2 stock of -500 MP- and 2 AoE heal saved up, but wasted 30/45 seconds on your 3rd charge.

However... if you use a charge of Assize within 90 seconds, then:

At 1 charge(s) held, in 120 seconds (30 seconds on 3nd charge), you still have 1 stock of -500 MP- and 1 AoE heal saved up.
At 1 charge(s) held, in 135 seconds (45 seconds on 3rd charge), you have 2 stock of -500 MP- and 2 AoE heal saved up, and then you hit cap on charges.

As you can see here, this allows you to delay your Assizes so you can also get the healing benefit of the skill without losing any MP from the skill itself as long as you use it within 90 seconds, and then another 45 seconds as long as you just use a charge within that timeframe, giving it a lot more flexibility. A 400 AOE heal is a free Medica/Afflatus Rapture without any cost, but this time you can actually guarantee it's used for healing within the timeframe.

Compare this to now:
At 0 charge held, in 20 seconds, you have 0 stock of -500 MP- and 0 AoE heal.
At 0 charge held, in 45 seconds, you have 1 stock of -500 MP- and 1 AoE heal.
At 1 charge held, in 75 seconds, you have 1 stock of -500 MP- and 1 AoE Heal, but you wasted 30/45 seconds on the 2nd charge.
At 1 charge held, in 90 seconds, you have 1 stock of -500 MP- and 1 AoE Heal, but you wasted 1 charge of Assize (-500 MP, -400 potency AoE Heal, -400 potency damage).

So you would have to use a charge immediately by 45 seconds and not hold it, or you lose MP, healing, and damage. If everyone is full HP and you use assize by 45 seconds, then you simply waste the healing portion, but you get the damage and MP back.

Allow me to clarify my concern.

If EW comes out, and its exactly as we feared with WHM bottoming out of MP in the estimated 7+ minutes time and the only change that occurred was that Assize got a 2nd charge to it, than the change would be meaningless because we wouldn't be able to use it for healing since we need the MP more and continue to use Assize on CD due to that need. I'm not saying that Assize should be made the solution to the problem because its not. What I am saying is that the MP changes have kind of made me paranoid about what could happen is all.
